Found out my portfolio site's first impression is under 3 seconds
I was reading this UX research article last week and it said people decide if they like your design in under 3 seconds. That blew my mind because my old portfolio had this loading animation that took like 5 seconds. I went back and timed it with a stopwatch on my phone. My hero image was 4MB and I had three different fonts loading. I shaved it down to under 2 seconds by compressing everything and using system fonts. Has anyone else checked their portfolio load time with a real timer?
